From the massive list of Korean dramas that were released in 2020 so far, successful and popular ones include the likes of Crash Landing On You, Itaewon Class, The World Of The Married, It’s Okay To Not Be Okay, and The King: Eternal Monarch. This year also saw the release of programmes such as Kingdom 2, Extracurricular, and Into The Ring.
Get ready for Was It Love?—a new drama starring the one and only Song Ji-Hyo. This will be her first television project since 2018’s Lovely Horribly. Since joining the cast of Running Man in 2010, her popularity has risen tremendously; making her one of the most recognisable figures in the entertainment industry. Fun fact: 11 July 2020 marks 10 years since Running Man first aired.
Was It Love? consists of 16 episodes and is directed by Kim Do-Hyung. Written by Lee Seung-Jin, the show will be taking over the slot previously occupied by Mystic Pop-up Bar. It will be available on both JTBC and Netflix.
Song Ji-Hyo will play Noh Ae-Jung, a movie producer and single mum who has been single for 14 years. The four male characters will be played Son Ho-Jun as Oh Dae-Oh (a best-selling author and her ex-boyfriend), Song Jong-Ho as Ryu Jin (an A-list actor), Koo Ja-Sung as Oh Yeon-Woo (a physical education teacher), and Kim Min-Joon as Goo Pa-Do (a former gangster who’s now a CEO). Also part of the cast is Kim Da-Som from girl group Sistar. She will be starring as an A-list actress.
Described as a romantic comedy, Was It Love? revolves around Noh Ae-Jung and the four men who entered her life just as she was about to give up on romance. She will be embarking on a whole new chapter of her love life. Who will Ae-Jung pick out of the four men?
According to writer Lee Seung-Jin, “we live in a generation where we give up on love and dreams. Love and dreams have at some point become a luxury, as we live a heartless reality everyday.” She mentioned that she decided to create the drama with the intention of extending “this luxury to someone for just one hour, twice a week.” She concluded by saying: “I truly hope this drama’s mere existence will allow someone who has had a bad day to feel better.”
Although things might get complicated for Song Ji-Hyo in the drama, Was It Love? seems like it’ll be a fun show to watch—involving the core themes of love and determination. Was It Love? premieres on 8 July 2020 with new episodes every Wednesday and Thursday at 8.30pm.
